Easter Sunday, April 12, 2020, came and went …

Introduction

There is nowhere else in the world the Church is growing as fast as it is growing in Africa [see 2019 data here]. Yet for those who have been brought up there, members of the various tribes on the continent [tribes in Kenya], there is this shadowy world of witchcraft, never been exorcised even after several generations of Christianity/Catholicism.

@thewarourtime is second generation catholic from my father’s side and 3rd generation from mother’s side. My late mother’s sister a sister with these, a cousin of hers, I believe, a Catholic priest. Dad was in the seminary, wanting to be a priest, I wanted to be a priest, my son wants to be a priest. Yet growing up, there were these people out there wanting to do you harm, casting spells or doing witchcraft on articles of clothing, one’s possessions, money, etc. so that people were sickened, never were successful or amounted to anything, marriages ruined, etc. How it all worked out and who exactly were witchcraft’s malevolent agents, wrecking havoc, no one knew, yet its specter continually hangs over Africa’s children.

Lucifer, lord all on his own over chaos and darkness but promising illusory lordship to his followers.

Beelzebub: The Devil in Primitive Africa. Structure exposed, being dismantled

Beelzebub was, because it is now being dismantled, the witchcraft structure that the Devil set up in Primitive Africa.

Matriarch passing on to duo of eldest daughter and youngest daughter, the latter acting as the seer, prophet.

Power over demons? He has never departed from this signature:

– child sacrifice. In this case, males are targetted

– sexual depravity. The genius of the plan, mom was a virgin bride!

To spare my mom, such a matriarch, and my sisters, won’t go into details here which immediate family members have.

All their waking hours and nights are to harming God’s creation and especially his children. Colleagues, friends, spouse, siblings, children, irrelevant.

The illusory reward: long-living widows respected in society – gives new meaning to black widow, Africans are black – surrounded seemingly by doting children and their children’s children.

Allah is the best of planners

I have a niece, a Muslim, she has the following as her WhatsApp Avatar:

In such a family that murders male children, and women rule over the survivors, God slipped in and raised his Melchisedech, the very one such a set up was erected to eliminate.

Easter Sunday, April 12, 2020, came and went …

They were unable to establish their kingdom of death. They are trying Melchisedech and arguing he is just one of them [cf. very last Star War: Palpatine and Rey, and for the latter to give in to her anger].

Victori spolia Since they couldn’t establish their kingdom by Sunday, April 12, 2020, it means they lost. Christus Vincit! That means their structures come down, one such structure in Africa is now exposed to be taken down.

Church teaching

CCC 2115 God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future, and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility.

CCC 2116 All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to “unveil” the future.48 Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.

CCC 2117 All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one’s service and have a supernatural power over others – even if this were for the sake of restoring their health – are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of another’s credulity.

The place of the Arch-Angels is in the heavenly court. Arch-angel meaning being above all angels [of the 8 (or 9) orders], of any Choir [3 choirs].

Ans.The being, who later became known as, the primeval serpent, the devil or satan, did not belong to any of these 3 choirs.

The Day [morning] Star, Lucifer, son of Dawn [cf. Is 14:12], was a member of the heavenly court; with him the four living creatures, and the seven spirits of God. These were the morning stars [Jb 38:7], first created by God, it seems, in that order.

Then came the rest of the 8 (or 9) orders of the heavenly hosts revealed in scripture: Seraphim, Cherubim, and Thrones; Dominations, Virtues, and Powers; Principalities, [Archangels] and Angels.

The seven spirits of God are the Arch-Angels [cf. Tb 12:15: “I am Raph′ael, one of the seven holy angels who present the prayers of the saints and enter into the presence of the glory of the Holy One.”]. Only two others are named in scripture: Arch-Angel Michael [Jude 1:9] and Arch-Angel Gabriel [Lk 1:19].

How this was deduced:

From the book of revelation, the four living creatures are present, and the seven spirits of God. This adds up to 11 and not 12 which represents totality, wholeness, and the completion of God’s purpose[Cf. https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/judaism-numbers/: Judaism and Numbers by Rabbi Geoffrey Dennis]. The missing one must have been one of the heavenly court.

The Day Star, Lucifer, son of Dawn. While the rest of the stars flee as it dawns, only he remains.

On Wednesday, January 25, 2017,Veri Catholici, the International Association of Catholics for the Defense of the Faith against the Errors of Cardinal Kasper, published in the Times of Malta Newspaper, on p. 29, an Open Letter to the Bishops of Malta and Gozo regarding their recent pastoral document, in which they have openly approved of communion for those living in public sin.

The Republic of Malta, one of the smallest Nation States of the European Union, is a Republic consisting of numerous islands, the largest two of which are Malta and Gozo. The Archbishop of Malta is Msgr. Charles Jude Scicluna, a native of Canada; the Bishop of Gozo is Msgr. Mario Grech, a native Maltese. The Archbishop, like all the principal members of “Team Bergoglio”, traces his episcopal lineage back to the notorious Mariano Cardinal Rampolla del Tindaro, rival of Pope St. Pius…

Pope Francis spoke with us like a father with children – said Archbishop Stanislaw Gądecki reporting on the meeting of Pope Francis with the Polish bishops. Chairman KEP said that the Holy Father did not prepare any text, but answered questions from bishops.

During the meeting, the Holy Father began by acts of charity. The first is “to bury the dead.” “The Pope spoke about the departure of Archbishop. Zygmunt Zimowski. Together they prayed for his soul “- said Archbishop Gądecki. Then, referring to the successive acts of charity, the Holy Father spoke of Cardinal. Francis Macharski, who is in a coma.

The bishops asked the pope for what is the answer to secularization should give Poland. The next question concerned the mercy and charismatic movements in the Church. The last concerned the refugees. “The Holy Father answered a little like children in a very warm way. Referring to each of these issues in a long and grueling, but not at the level of intellectual discourse, but as a father talking to their children. This in my opinion figure of Pope Francis “- emphasized Archbishop Gądecki.

When asked by journalists about the issue of refugees chairman of the CEP announced that the Church in Poland take action assistance in this regard. – They may seem to be small but they are very specific – notice. The first is to help families families. It’s about establishing real relationships. This assistance is carried out through Caritas. The second form of assistance are known in Italy humanitarian corridors. It is here to help those who have suffered the most severe losses.

“These proposals difficulties pierced by the Italian parliament, and probably with difficulties will break through the Polish parliament. But we have to think from the perspective of affected people and not their own “- emphasized Archbishop Gądecki.

Chairman of KEP was also asked about the issue of adherence to Holy Communion by divorced people, which is the issue of the pope mentions in the Exhortation “Amoris laetitia”. Archbishop Gądecki said that the Holy Father proceeds from the assumption that the laws of general are difficult to enforce in any country, and therefore throws the idea of decentralization, that individual episcopates could have their own perspective to make the application of the papal indications, but also by looking at their situation religious and cultural might relate to issues that relate to specific issues.

The prelate noted that what was contained in the Post-Synodal Exhortation, and refers to this case, is a big step forward, because it takes into account, he said, “our voices”, who wanted to keep the truth of the Gospel, that is, that can not be exceeded in a conscious and voluntary Christ’s command, which concerns a divorce.

Archbishop Gądecki added that accurate understanding of the situation of a specific human needs sometimes years, and the problems can not be solved “in two minutes in the confessional.” This way, you have to go with the priest, carefully and deliberately, knowing that if the marriage was valid, it does not have title to allow for the accession of communion, which is an expression of full communion with Christ.

The interviewer, Hendrik Groth, also asked Archbishop Ganswein whether he still stands by remarks he publicly made shortly after the election of Pope Francis that theologically, you could not fit a sheet of paper between the new Pope and his predecessor.

“I have asked myself the same question; and judging by everything I hear and perceive, I still positively perceive this to be the case. Considering the base lines of their theological convictions, there is definitely a continuity there.”

Given the external differences between the two Popes, Archbishop Ganswein said: “Obviously I am also aware that occasionally doubt might be cast on this, given the differences in representation and expression. But when a Pope wants to change an aspect of the doctrine, then he has to do so clearly, so as to make it binding.”

“Important magisterial tenets cannot be changed by half sentences or somewhat ambiguous footnotes,” the German archbishop said, alluding to the controversy over the post-synodal apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia. He further warned, “Statements that can be interpreted in different ways are a risky thing.”

Acknowledging the cultural and personal differences between Pope Francis and his predecessor, Archbishop Ganswein reflected that “one has to simply accept the fact that his [Francis’] way of speaking can at times be somewhat imprecise, indeed flippant. Every Pope has their own personal style.”

The archbishop said he is sure that Pope Francis will not change his way of talking, even if that sometimes “leads to bizarre interpretations.”

However, Archbishop Ganswein also reflected on what role the media plays in the perception that the Pope is no longer “as solid as a rock, no longer a final anchor.”

“Uncertainties, occasionally even confusion and mayhem, have certainly increased,” he said, adding that the “Francis Effect” some German bishops predicted after the election, expecting it would lead to fuller pews and a boost to Catholic life in the nation, “appears not to have transpired.”
